Wirral coronavirus cases see sharp rise in infections

In the seven days to October 12, the figure rose to 308.3 per 100,000 people, with 999 new positive cases.

That's up from 868 the previous week - a rate of 267.9 per 100,000.

The figures are based on tests carried out in laboratories (pillar one of the Government's testing programme) and in the wider community (pillar two).

The list has been calculated by the Press Association news agency and is based on Public Health England data published on the Government’s coronavirus dashboard.

The rate is expressed as the number of new cases per 100,000 people.

Data for the most recent four days (October 13-16) has been excluded as it is incomplete and does not reflect the true number of cases.

There is normally, also, a lag in reports of cases from hospital trusts over the weekend.

Here is the list of case rises across the country, in full.

From left to right, it reads: name of local authority; rate of new cases in the seven days to October 12; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to October 12; rate of new cases in the seven days to October 5; number (in brackets) of new cases recorded in the seven days to October 5.
